AN OBSTINATE JUROR.

A Stubborn Individual Who Was Evidently
Not Acquainted With Shakespeare.
In a will case before court and q
rustic jury Jere Black appeared as
counsel for the youngest of three sis
ters. and sought to break the will on
the ground that the two elder sisters
had, with the assistance of his learned
brother, the counsel on the other side,
cajoled and coerced the dead father dur
ing his dying hours into signing will
giving them all his property and leav-
ing the youngest daughter out in the
cold. Black, who was young then,
made q great speech to the jury, in
which 'King Lear very naturally ap-
peared.
"Goneril was at that bedside, gen.
tlemen of the jury" he exclaimed.
''Regan was there, But where was
Cordeliap"
The jury remained out for some time.
At last they came in. But the foreman
reported that they could not agree. All
Of them except one man were in faver
of the Youngest sister, but the one man
was not satisfied, and could not be sat
isfed about what he thought flaw in
the evidence.
"What is it!',' asked the court of the
obstinate juror.
'Why, your honor" said the fellow,
''if Mr.. Goneril and Mr.. Regan were
present, as that lawyer said, why didn't
he put them in the witness-boxp'-
Philadelphia Record.

LOVES TOKENS.

LOVES TOKENS.
II you take an apple and pare it thin,
Without a break in the ribboned skin,
You may twirl the perfect pairing around,
And note how 1t falls on the floor or ground.
It ought to fall, II the sign is true,
So that letter shall shape for you;
And the letter it forms will be the same
As that which stands for the loved one's name.
Or, II you look for another door
To the tender secret-take the core,
And count the seeds that are hidden there:
They will spell the same, with none to spare.
Or, pick daisy. Who has forgot
The test: HE loves me-he loves me not!"
And, when its disk is gone around,
The lover or sweetheart Is lost or found.
There were many more in our early days,
Mingled with childhood's artless plays;
Twas pleasant to think with what sweet strife
We could settle the problem of husband and
wife.
But when to older years we grow,
We have no royal way to know.
We doubt and ponder. we hope and guess,
Then put the question for mo" or Eyes"
Joel Benton, in Democratic Aonttly
